About Gymsanity Blog

I have been a fitness fanatic since high school, which means I’ve been hitting the gym on pretty much a daily basis for the last 30 years. I also did some personal training in my 20’s (I had an ACE certification). Making some quick calculations on the back of my napkin, it looks like I’ve stepped into a gym close to 10,000 times. This means that 10,000 times I have seen at least one person doing something absolutely ridiculous. Sometimes, what I have witnessed is so remarkable that I have to rush home to call someone. With this blog, I can just share with everyone.

In praise of chiropractors

My first ever blog post in 2007 was about a guy performing a set of pullups while talking on his Bluetooth headset. It was a masterpiece of multitasking. Yesterday, I came across a 2023 remake of this incident. This gym member was doing a set of machine dips while watching a movie on his phone.…
